DST -3 nT
*2*
Local propagation, ~ or < 100 miles, was unsettled today but still, we had good signal reports with some deep fades. At around 200 miles AB4AM's signal was good copy but considerably weaker than normal At over 300 miles propagation seemed to be fairly good. On CW WY3T had Q5 copy some of the time on AB4AM, K4FI and W4DEX. WY3T was heard Q5 by AB4AM and W4DEX. WW8II copied KGØVL and W4DEX. And WW8II was copied by KGØVL and W4DEX.
==================================================================16:08 AB4AM-ROB: Noise Floor -100 - -120 64F 47% H S @ 9
16:14 K5HFG: 67F 42%H noise SSB S5 CW S2
16:15 AB4AM-ROB: Hearing some very light SSB
16:15 AB4AM-ROB: AB4AM calling K5HFG SSB

16:16 K5HFG: No SSB heard
16:17 K5HFG: Called AB4AM, No response
16:18 AB4AM-ROB: Tried calling KW4DE with no luck
16:20 WA4LDU-JOE: Rob I hear you but you are weak...
16:21 AB4AM-ROB: QSL Joe. Did you get you ant. back up?
16:21 WW8II-BRUCE: 36 degrees still SNOWING about 3 inches so far
16:23 WY3T-TIM: 76 deg noise S4 SSB / S1-2 CW
16:23 WA4LDU-JOE: Rob, I got the 160M inv V back up temp but all the other antennas are on the ground
16:24 WY3T-TIM: No SSB
16:25 WY3T-TIM: Thought I heard someone calling me but very deep in the noise
16:25 AB4AM-ROB: No Copy on WY3T SSB
16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: noise today MOST INTERESTING N.E. -126db S.E. -126db S.W. 124db N.W. -123db and the inverted V -119db MUST be the SNOW
16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: I do believe I am hearing SSB in the noise
16:27 WY3T-TIM: I could tell someone was trying but could not make it out...only heard my call sign once.
16:28 AB4AM-ROB: I was calling you Tim
16:29 AB4AM-ROB: I"ve heard some SSB in the noise but that's it so far
16:31 WY3T-TIM: Just heard W4DEX for two words and then noise
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: i may not be able to transmit today the antenna wire covered in heavy wet snow having trouble getting the SWR below 1:3 and the amp kicks out going outside shake the wire
16:33 WY3T-TIM: I can only detect someone is in there on SSB
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM SSB S5
16:35 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU, KP2AE very fast QSB

16:36 KG0VL-JEFF: Dead quiet here, no signals detected. Good chance for a no-hitter today.
16:36 AB4AM-ROB: No Copy on W4DEX I can hear some SSB but, no copy 1 x 1
16:41 WA4LDU-JOE: K4FI CW 599++ steady
16:41 W4DEX-DEX: K4FI 599+ with a few fast faded to 569
16:42 WY3T-TIM: K4FI 429 ..faded to noise at 20 sec for 10 sec then back to 429 the 539.
16:42 AB4AM-ROB: K4FI No Copy !!!
16:43 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX No Copy until 16:43:30 459
16:44 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX CW 539 to 549 and back to 539 and back to 549 eot
16:44 WA4LDU-JOE: W4DEX cw 599 slight QSB
16:44 K4FI-DOUG: W4DEX 5 x 8 Steady
16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX START 319 30 SEC 419 1 MIN 619 1 MIN 30 SEC 519 EOT 419
16:46: *** W4DCL is now offline ***
16:46 K4FI-DOUG: AB4AM 5 x 7/8 Some QSB slow.
16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM CAN JUST DETECT
16:46 WA4LDU-JOE: AB4AM cw 559 w fast QSB dips to noise
16:46 WY3T-TIM: AB4AM CW 539 to 549 to 549 at 45 sec back to 539 at 1 min...and to eot
16:46 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM 569 with fast fades to 529
16:47 WW8II-BRUCE: WY3T I MISSED K4FI BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE SHACKING THE ANTENNA ABOUT AN INCH OF SNOW WAS ON IT
16:47 WW8II-BRUCE: WT3T NIL
16:47 AB4AM-ROB: Wy3T 449-549 QSB fast
16:47 K4FI-DOUG: WY3T no copy
16:48 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T initially 549, slow fade to 429 at 60 sec.....then on down to 319 at end
16:48 WA4LDU-JOE: WY3T CW detectable until 16:47:15 then faded out
16:50 WY3T-TIM: KG0VL CW no copy
16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL START 419 1 MIN 419 1MIN 30 SEC 519
16:50 K4FI-DOUG: KG0VL No Copy
16:50 WA4LDU-JOE: KG0VL cw no copy
16:50 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 519 Q5 copy
16:51 K4FI-DOUG: WW8II No Copy
16:52 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II down to 419 at 1 min, back up to 519 at EOT. No other stations heard today.
16:52 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II started at 16:50:10 539 slow fade into noise at 16:51. Coming back up to 319 near end
16:52 WA4LDU-JOE: WW8II cw no copy
16:52: *** KD8PYY is now offline ***
16:52 AB4AM-ROB: WW8II No Copy
16:52 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy
16:53 KP2AE-JOE: ab4am 539 k4fi 549 both weaker today than normal
16:53 AB4AM-ROB: Interesting propagation today
16:54 WW8II-BRUCE: MOST INTERESTING DAY SO I COPIED KGOVL AND W4DEX AND THEY COPIED ME AND ONLY DETECTED AB4AM HE DID NOT COPY ME
16:55 WW8II-BRUCE: THERE WAS A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW ON MY WIRE HAD TO GO KNOCK IT OFF TO GET THE TRANSIT TO WORK
16:55 WY3T-TIM: Copied K4FI, W4DEX and AB4AM CW today each with some QSB...
16:56 WW8II-BRUCE: NOT SURE WHAT THE SAL LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE IT IS 700 FOOT FROM THE HOUSE OUT IN THE BACK FIELD
16:58 AB4AM-ROB: It's unusual That I have trouble with W4DEX or K4FI
